Oh yeah, happy happy!

Oh my... just took delivery of my 20* uq and cuben winter palace tarp. Cannot BELIEVE how nothing it weighs! I'm at work, so can't really unpack and inspect properly, but boy am I itching to get out to try these things!

Got home and unpacked it now, wow! I've never had anything to do with cuben fibre before, but dang is it ever light! It also feels pretty brittle, I barely dared pull it taught! I guess I'll just need to get used to it - have been using DD:s tarps until now, which are probably to be likened to a Chevy Blazer in the circumstances....

I can also state that HammockGear seem to use the same kitchen scale as I do when weighing their gear (except mine isn't in ounces ) - pretty much on the gram what they said on their website: 700g for the 20*incubator UQ, and 275 for the tarp, both in their stuffsacks. My pack is getting lighter, and my sleep is getting comfier! Talk about win-win!

Edit: it seems on these two items compared to my previous uq and tarp, I have shed 1365 grams from my pack!
